The church was full, the singing, communion and sharing was inspirational, and the sermon, powerful. But the morning didn't end there. After church we all bundled up, braved the icy wind and went outside to the spot where they will be digging later this week. Leadership Team chairman &
builder, George Ginther gave a little talk that reminded us of where we have been and how God's grace and power has brought us to where we are standing today. Pastor Harv prayed a prayer of dedication and they turned the sod. Also helping to turn sod was Martin 
Goertzen, member & builder and Dawson Unruh, a six year old life-time attender who was asked to help as a representative of the next generation... and how we want to build so that we can continue to minister to young and old alike.
By this time, we were all nearly frozen but we made our way back to the church where a festive Luau lunch welcomed us. An ocean and sand mureau with palm trees, pineapple and delicious salads along with the warm fellowship topped off the day and made this a great event that we will remember for a long time. Thanks to all who helped with the lunch and planning of this event.

You guys look kind of cramped. Have you ever considered building?
